Draw out full potential
of your mixed-C4
Did you know that there are simple ways to
maximize its value?
It is too often the case that mixed-C4s from the naphtha crackers are not being utilized to their full potential.
They are often returned back to the cracker or even burnt in the absence of the efficient separation technology such as ours. This is because in order to utilize the desired components such as isobutylene and 1-butene, they first need to be separated, but their boiling points being so close to each other, it is practically impossible to separate them by distillation.
With our separation process, you can zero in on your target components and pick them out by simple chemistry.
So that you can utilize them to take your product portfolio up higher with Sumitomo C4 Separation technology.

Global Trust and Recognitions
The first commercialization of this process dates back to 1982.
Our experience as the owner of integrated complexes covering from refinery to high-end niche products have lead us to develop this process with the aim to utilize all components available from naphtha, an alchemy made possible by the proprietary made-in-Japan catalyst.
Through several decades of operation and numerous licenses worldwide, the process has a proven history of opening up doors of possibilities to expand your product portfolio.
